Sports Tourism in South Billings

December 15, 2021

You might have heard about the potential development of an Aquatics and Recreation center in South Billings. Many Billings residents are excited by the idea of this facility, but it would also have a big impact on our economy by attracting visitors. Alex Tyson from Visit Billings and Dick Zier from the South Billings Urban Renewal Association joined us this week to update us on this exciting project and its impact on sports tourism.
